The next Xbox360 dashboard update, scheduled for tomorrow, will include some 80 new updates and features, one of the most important one being 1080p, the ability to play games and watch movies in the highest HD quality setting. Furthermore, the update adds support for WMV files from a Windows PC, and the ability to play movies and video files from a USB drive or data CDs/DVDs.

11080p finally supported. I thought Sony said HD doesn’t start without them?
How arrogant …

2I think it’s kind of funny that a console’s main selling point is 1080p. AND that a competitor can add said feature with a mere download.
Which begs the question, if a resolution is downloadable, will we ever see 720p Wii games? Long shot I know, but is it possible?

3resolution is not downloadable. I liked this website but I’m noticing the comments are very uneducated.
PS3 can natively support 1080p because of HDMI which is fully digital. Xbox 360 can only push 1080p through the analog VGA connector. TV’s would need to have the VGA connector, and allow 1080p through it. The normal component cables can’t pass 1080p because TV’s don’t have 1080p input through component.
It’s a work-around that barely works. Definitely not future proof.
And where did you ever see that PS3’s main selling point is 1080p?? I believe articles only mentioned that because they were surprised Xbox didn’t have it in their original spec like PS3 did.

4MuDoggy: Don’t judge the site on some foolish comments that users post. This is common to all sites/blogs.
